Bug list for WD8?

[Soquili]

A true What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) page is one that is always the same width that you created. A page that resizes to fit the browser is NOT WYSIWYG. It is a Dynamic page that moves the content around so it is not what you saw as you created it. The Design Layout you wanted to present to the world is gone because of someone's browser window.

That is certainly true Bill, but for some reason in WDP7 a page would display fully on iphones but now it opens in the top left corner of the page and shows up very large. It is a bit frustrating as I upgraded to MX specifically for the one button touch feature for ios devices, and was a bit disappointed that the sizing feature that was evident on WDP7 was no longer available. Perhaps the Xara team will surprise me with a rectification to this problem when next I check for updates on MX. Dreaming.....dreaming....wishing.....

Can you give an example of this please?

Which sizing feature of WD7P are you referring to? Can you point this out?

Sizing feature of WDP7
I have updated and published most of the sites I have created through MX8 now, but here are 3 that I have not done this too - they were created in WDP7, and if you look on the iphone they appear as a whole page on the iphone browser (that is, you can view the whole page - its little, but you can see it all). www.billybirddesigns.com and www.lilyandthedreamdogs.com and www.australianoliveoilcompany.com

Opening in top left corner of iphone
And here are two that I created in WDP7 and then updated them in MX8, and then published, and on iphones they open up in the top left corner only www.australianpsychicclairvoyant.com and www.grandiscottages.com.au

Any ideas as to why this happens would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Abi

Abi, this site was actually exported using DW MX rather than version 7.
<meta name="Generator" content="Xara HTML filter v.5.0.0.939"/>

So if billybirddesigns appears fine on your iPhone then MX is unlikely the cause of the other sites not displaying as expected.
It could be another reason.

Yes, these are MX generated sites
<meta name="Generator" content="Xara HTML filter v.5.0.0.939"/>

Note that the latest filter is
<meta name="Generator" content="Xara HTML filter v.5.0.0.947"/>
MX version update April 16th 2012

I'll see what else I can find out for you

Thanks Sledger. Actually, I can see that the olive oil company I also upgraded in MX8, and I forgot that I had done that. That is displaying fine. I just looked on my iphone and a site I updated in MX8 2 weeks ago is appearing fine on the browser, but any site updated in the past 10 days does not seem to display as it did when created in WDP7. For example, I just made some changes to this site www.travellingoasis.com and it is appearing in the top left corner of the iphone, as is this one www.ancientpeacekeeper.com So some display okay, and some don't. Oh well, I still love the product!

I also have this problem now since upgrading to MX from version 7. Before all my websites fitted into a android/iphone browser and you could pinch and zoom to read the sites. Now they are appearing, 'zoomed in' to the top left and you cannot reduce them on the browsers. This is most annoying and I hope Xara manage to sort this out quickly as some are customers sites, and I have already had one complaining. Examples - www.leicester-design.co.uk a test site.

I just also did some changes on billybirddesigns.com and that is now no longer displaying well in the browser, although it was previously. Yikes, I am getting a wee bit grumpy about this

Hi Abi,

I don't have any iOS devices, but I have viewed billybirddesigns.com on my android phone and pad but do not see the problems you mention.
As with the other site about (see my screenshots) it displays well on both devices and in both orientations.
